About
Australia Yoga Teacher Training is here to revolutionise your understanding of yoga. We invite students into all facets of yoga so the teachings become a part of their lives. Students will come away with a deeper understanding of yoga, and how exactly the practice infiltrates into a daily practice - one that encompasses their wellbeing, relationships and communication. We guide students towards developing a personal practice that continues long after they roll their mat up and put it away.Â
Our mission is to produce authentic and confident yoga teachers by offering practical, grounded and supportive teachings founded in thousands of years of tradition. These are ancient teachings for modern times.
Testimonial
I didn’t expect such an introspective journey to unravel. This course promoted me to carve out a path and commitment to my own personal daily yoga practice that isn't reliant on a teacher or a yoga school. A life commitment. I didn’t expect the course would have such a profound impact on me, my decisions and my happiness. Fast forward a few months and I am teaching yoga in a school and my understanding and classes feel credible.
Darci facilitated, inspired and prompted a journey for each and every one of us in the most non-intrusive way. A true spiritual teacher in the sense that she gave us no answers yet fuelled our own exploration. There are few experiences in your life that you look back on and know, they really changed your life. For me, this was one of them.

How Australia Yoga Teacher Training Started
Darci has facilitated yoga teacher trainings for almost 10 years. With the pregnancy of her son, it was in 2016 that AYTT started to come to life. In 2018 AYTT ran its first in-studio training and they have run annually in Northern NSW ever since. In 2020 the first online training went ahead and these have also run annually since.Â
The AYTT team has been chosen carefully. This dynamic team are dedicated, non-dogmatic practitioners and experts in the fields and subjects that they deliver. All the AYTT facilitators have solid teachers who come from long unbroken lineages.Â
Meet the Founder
Darci is passionate about the philosophy of yoga and the nature of the mind. A devout Zen student under the guidance of her teacher Mark Togni of almost 20 years, she also has a keen interest in Buddhist philosophy, which weaves its way into her teaching style, which is accessible to the total beginner and will deepen the more experienced yogi's practice.
Darci is a dedicated practitioner who is often described as authentic, transparent, open, honest and discerning. She usually has a big smile on her face and has a laugh that can be heard from miles away. She has the ability to make those who are in her presence feel safe, worthy, capable, seen and heard. Darci is also known for her intricate technical alignment cues and deep verbal adjustments. Practicality is important to her and comes through strong in her teaching style.
More About Darci“Yoga saved my life. It enables me to find peace, gratitude and understanding in
even the darkest moments.”
“The thing that has always struck me about Darci is her authenticity. Her words and even the way that she’d go about saying them would have me nodding, "yes that’s totally it", while lying in Savasana. Darci has the ability to relate to all members of the class because she is the essence of REAL. There’s no BS. This has benefited me greatly.”
